The Russian army in Ukraine does not spare civilians. In Irpen on Monday, March 7, residents were shelled and shelled by soldiers.
A Ukrainian fighter takes part in the evacuation from Irpen (Ukraine), Monday, March 7. In the distance, residents are fleeing with some luggage when a Russian mortar shell hits the road. The fighter is taken away in a panic. Civilians will suffer. A few meters later, bodies are lying on the ground. The explosion killed the family and their two children. “They kill people for no reason. All this is so hard for the population, it’s crazy,” the Ukrainian admits.
Irpen, located 15 km from Kyiv (Ukraine), is ruthlessly shelled by the Russian army. This is the last strategic city in the west, on the way to the capital. The residents rush in panic to escape the chaos between the two explosions. They flee the city in an atmosphere of terror. “I’m terrified, it’s terrible,” says the young girl. To leave the city, you need to cross the collapsed bridge. Only prayers drive away melancholy. In a few days, about 10,000 people left Irpin.
